Stan Sakai, who provided extensive reference art for the project, oversaw every detail in the design process. “I have always thought that a doll of this type would be an excellent presentation of Usagi,” Sakai remarked, “and have been happy to assist as the prototype evolved with commentary and revisions. I think he came out very well indeed.”
This highly detailed 12" cuddly, plush figure of Usagi Yojimbo will go on sale May 5, 2010 and retail for $24.99. You can currently pre-order the Usagi Yojimbo plush figure from EntertainmentEarth.com here!
Usagi Yojimbo is a long-running comic book set in seventeenth-century Japan, with anthropomorphic animals replacing humans. The lovable rabbit ronin, Miyamoto Usagi, wanders the land as a shugyosha (student warrior on a pilgrimage), occasionally selling his services as a yojimbo (bodyguard). Usagi Yojimbo is one of the most celebrated ongoing comics, adored by critics and fans of all ages for the last twenty-five years.
